About four years ago, my two youngest children—then around 1 and 4—were terribly sick over the course of several days.
I was exhausted and running on very little sleep, trying to keep track of everything: their symptoms, how high their fevers had been, how long they’d lasted, when I’d given medication, and how much.
At around 2:30am one morning, lying awake and feeling completely overwhelmed, I thought:
“There must be a better way to manage family health.”
Then I had an idea.
Despite desperately needing sleep, I got out of bed and spent the next few hours sketching out what that idea could become.
There was just one problem: I couldn’t code.
I didn’t have the money to hire someone, and AI coding assistants weren’t around yet. So I did the only thing I could; I taught myself Swift and SwiftUI and started building it myself.
Four years later, that idea is finally launching.
